Suarez reminds us of Maradona with recreation of iconic picture against Paraguay in World Cup qualifier

Luis Suarez recreated an iconic image from football lore during Uruguay's World Cup qualifier with Paraguay.

The Liverpool striker picked up the ball and, surrounded by four opposition defenders, drove at the heart of the Paraguay defence.

The scene, captured by AFP/Getty Images photographer Daniel Caselli, was reminiscent of the image of another great dribbler, Diego Maradona.

Iconic: The scene is reminiscent of this iconic picture of Diego Maradona at the 1986 World Cup

That picture, taken at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, showed Maradona surrounded by six Belgians and has gone on to become one of the most recognised images from football.

Suarez thought he'd won it for his team in Montevideo with an excellent curling shot with the outside of his boot in the final minutes, but his team were pegged back by an Edgar Benitez goal in the dying seconds as the team's drew 1-1.
